Immunization of health care workers (HCWs) against influenza has been associated with improvements in patient safety. The aim of this study is to assess the beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge of HCWs and health profession students regarding influenza. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to HCWs in three local Florentine healthcare units, at Careggi University Teaching Hospital, and to students in health profession degree programs. A total of 2576 questionnaires were fully completed. A total of 12.3% of subjects responded that they were "always vaccinated" in all three of the seasonal vaccination campaigns studied (2007-2008 to 2009-2010), 13.1% had been vaccinated once or twice, and 74.6% had not received vaccinations. Although the enrolled subjects tended to respond that they were "never vaccinated," they considered influenza to be a serious illness and believed that the influenza vaccine is effective. The subjects who refused vaccination more frequently believed that the vaccine could cause influenza and that it could have serious side effects. More than 60% of the "always vaccinated" group completely agreed that HCWs should be vaccinated. Self-protection and protecting family members or other people close to the respondent from being infected and representing potential sources of influenza infection can be considered motivating factors for vaccination. The results highlight the importance of improving vaccination rates among all HCWs through multi-component interventions. Knowledge of influenza should be reinforced.
医护人员接种流感疫苗与患者安全的改善相关。本研究的目的是评估医护人员和卫生专业学生对流感的看法、态度和知识。向佛罗伦萨当地三个医疗单位、卡雷吉大学教学医院的医护人员以及卫生专业学位课程的学生发放了一份匿名问卷。共2576份问卷全部填写完整。在研究的三个季节性疫苗接种活动（2007 - 2008年至2009 - 2010年）中，共有12.3%的受试者表示他们“总是接种疫苗”，13.1%的人接种过一两次，74.6%的人未接种过疫苗。尽管登记的受试者倾向于回答他们“从未接种过疫苗”，但他们认为流感是一种严重疾病，并相信流感疫苗是有效的。拒绝接种疫苗的受试者更频繁地认为疫苗可能导致流感并且可能有严重副作用。超过60%的“总是接种疫苗”组完全同意医护人员应该接种疫苗。自我保护以及保护家庭成员或其他亲近的人不被感染以及作为潜在的流感感染源，可以被视为接种疫苗的激励因素。结果强调了通过多组分干预提高所有医护人员疫苗接种率的重要性。应加强对流感的认识。
